work with a wider range of organisations, and diversifies our offering.

• Develop and manage world class technology that will connect the food

industry to the charity sector in a unique way in Ireland and beyond.

• Build a more sustainable and more efficient business model to create better

value for our partners.

Our Vision

Open data

• Where, in the food chain is the most surplus food going to waste?

• Where are these food businesses, producers, retailers, distributers located?

• Where are the food charities located?

Advice for startups

It’s normal when you are innovating to have lots of different solutions before you hit the right one

You only fail if you give up

FoodCloud has learnt a lot in the last year

Thomas Edison tried nearly 10,000 different battery prototypes before he hit on a viable product

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work”Thomas A. Edison

Thank you!
